Fantastic Retirement trip!!❤️
I am not a cruise person. However, I wanted to see Alaska, but not like everyone else. I am not a shopper, nor am I a gambler. I am a person who loves being outside and being with nature. Choosing Uncruise was the best decision I could have ever made for me. I kayaked, I went bush whacking, got up close to several glaciers, and saw an abundance of wildlife. The staff was very knowledgeable about the wilderness. I am SO glad I was on their boat. Such nice people! My husband and I will talk about this trip for a very long time. I highly recommend Uncruie to anyone who is just like me.

- The crew and staff, all of them, were amazing! They were very friendly and very attentive.. The experiences that we were offered to do every day where beyond my dreams!. I enjoyed how the crew kept us informed when there was something to see outside or the northern lights were shining..

Awesome.
This was a great vacation. The views were spectacular. The reason this boat was picked was that it was focused on wildlife and we really got to see many different forms of wildlife. The whales were spectacular as the orca and humpbacks were everywhere. The guides were very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed how they presented different aspects of Alaska. I would highly recommend this trip.

This cruise was everything we hoped for and more!
Our overall experience was excellent! Seeing glaciers up close was amazing! Choosing a small boat experience was absolutely the way to go. We actually had the opportunity to get to know the other passengers, and made some wonderful friends.

Small boat cruise. The only way to go
Incredible experience. Loved the two days in Glacier Bay. That is why we picked this cruise.

- Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, from kitchen staff to guides, all were awesome. Loved the extracurricular activities. Could sit around on the boat if you wanted to, but plenty of things to do outside.. Loved the small boat experience, being able to get to places the floating hotels could not.
